Here's what goes into every Mimic:

• A year of design with Trig, an award-winning product design firm with deep roots in healthcare and human factors.
• Built from solid zinc alloy and precision injection-molded plastics. The patented double-jointed arm locks in your StickPrint™, and the plastics are made by BeraTek, a US manufacturer that builds parts for the medical, aerospace and automotive industries. No 3D-printed parts.
• Hall Effect thumbstick with interchangeable thumbcaps from GuliKit, so there's no stick drift.
• Lifetime warranty. If your Mimic fails from normal use, we replace it, for as long as you own it.

What's included: your keyboard connector, a lifetime reWASD Basic license and a 30-day fit-or-return guarantee.

Why adjustable matters. Before we partnered with Trig, another top design firm told us an adjustable thumbstick would be too complex and too expensive to build, and pitched a one-size-fits-all design instead. Trig warned us of the same cost. We built it anyway. A thumbstick sitting perfectly under the tip of your thumb is the best feeling in competitive PC gaming, and every hand is different. Not a single corner was cut to get it there.

If you've ever played on a controller, you already know how to use the Mimic. Your left thumb does what it's done for years, just next to your keyboard.

You keep your keyboard so there's no new layout to memorize. Setup takes under a minute, with no software and nothing to download. The only real adjustment is learning new binds, and once they click you won't want to go back.

For Fortnite, yes, and it's worth it in the long run. Binds built around WASD or other joystick mods were designed for a suboptimal hand position, so they won't take advantage of what the Mimic does. Learning new binds might take you a few days, but it's how you get the full ergonomic and performance benefit for the long haul.

The Mimic is built for players who are ready to rethink their setup. If you'd rather keep your current binds, it may not be the right fit.

Comfort is the reason the Mimic exists. We spent a year designing it with Trig, an award-winning product design firm with deep roots in healthcare and human factors.

Most gear makes your hand adapt to the hardware. The Mimic adapts to your hand:

• A sculpted palm rest refined through rounds of prototypes and hands-on testing, so large and small hands rest naturally.
• A patented double-jointed arm in solid zinc alloy that puts the stick under the tip of your thumb, relaxed and bent instead of stretched and locked. That's your StickPrint™.
• Mirrored to your mouse hand, so both hands sit in the same natural, balanced position.

Set your StickPrint once and forget it. If it doesn't feel right, return it within 30 days.

Yes, it is. The Mimic presents itself as a standard XInput controller and doesn't use macros, automation or input manipulation. From a game's perspective, it's the same as the left stick on a controller.

Developers are building for this, too. More new games launch with full controller and keyboard-and-mouse support at the same time, like Valheim, which just hit 1.0.

Your StickPrint™ is the exact spot where the Mimic's thumbstick sits under the tip of your thumb, with your thumb relaxed and naturally bent. Every hand is different, so the Mimic's double-jointed arm adjusts until it fits yours. Set it once and it stays there.

Here's why it matters. If you play on a joystick or keypad, try this: push your stick all the way forward and watch your thumb.

Other thumbstick keypads and joystick mods aren't built around thumb biomechanics. To reach full forward, your thumb straightens and locks out, and you end up steering with the inside of your thumb joint instead of the tip. It happens so often that most players never notice but it costs you precision. That can be the difference between winning and losing a fight especially on a tight peek or side jump.

The Mimic is built to keep your thumb naturally bent with the tip centered on top of the stick. That's how joysticks were designed to be used. We call it our two rules of thumb:

1. A bent thumb reacts faster. It stays primed, like a spring, and ready to move in any direction instead of pulling back from a locked position.
2. Control comes from the tip. Your fingertip has the finest motor control in your hand so small, quick adjustments feel effortless and consistent.

Most players don't realize how much control they've been missing until they feel it. Once your thumb works the way it's built to your movement gets more accurate and you'll find yourself doing things you couldn't before.

The Mimic attaches to your keyboard with a patented, model-specific connector.
